Here's the sort of thing I mean:
default.asp
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%option explicit%>
<HTML>
<%
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Dim Visitor, fso, MyFile, Data
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading, True)
Data = MyFile.ReadLine
Visitor = CInt(Data)
MyFile.Close
Visitor = Visitor + 1
Response.Write "<script language=javascript>"& vbcrlf
Response.Write "var count=" & Visitor & vbcrlf
Response.Write "</script>"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
MyFile.Write Visitor
MyFile.Close
